AUSOUG/OAUG 2006 Conference Announcement

Doug's Oracle Blog

The AUSOUG and OAUG committees are very excited to announce the Australian 2006 conference series is less than three months away. While our American neighbours are focusing on Oracle OpenWorld in October, and our UKOUG friends on their (extended!) November conference, Australians will not miss out with the largest Oracle user group conference in Australia to date. This year we're condensing our content into two key conferences, in Melbourne 2/3rd November and Perth 8/9th November, a East Coast to West Coast series of the best presentations by Australian and overseas Oracle talent.

This sounds like an impressive event, Doug. Two cities, separated by a continent -- that requires a lot of planning and coordination. I've done a little of that, so I know that it must be a huge job for the conveners in this case.

As separate to Doug's post of our event, I'd like to thank Doug publicly for his assistance and support this year. Thanks Doug!

In answer to Dave Edwards post, certainly yes this takes a lot of effort. AUSOUG is run by volunteers too so we're very much appreciative of their commitment. Given Dave's comments about having a done a little of organising this sort of thing, and my own now direct experience, I very much hold previous committee members and organisers in the greatest respect for the amount of effort they have given in the past to run similar events. It's great that IT professionals can put something back into the community, be it open source efforts, or efforts similar to user groups.

Regards,

Chris Muir
President of the Victorian Branch
Australian Oracle User Group (AUSOUG)
